Custom Services (eg: ESPHome)

[s00500]

Hey there,
love this project! might benefit from a out of the box HAOS deploy strategy but lets take that one later ;-)

I am kind of missing a possibility to trigger custom services...
I have a lot of services that are provided by ESPHome Devices like the Ulanzi LED Clock

(Running on this software: https://github.com/lubeda/EspHoMaTriXv2)

These usually start with esphome._

And ideally of course these would be fetched and created during autogeneration..

Any plans or ideas about that ?

Greetings

Here is a screenshot of one of them, but there are quite a few more on this device.

I also use them on some of my own written esphomeconfigs, like resetting water and gas counters and similar things

This definitely seems doable. It could look something like:

s1.CustomService.Call({
  Name: "esphome.blah_some_id",
  ServiceData: map[string]any {
     "default_font": true,
     "icon_name": "none",
     // etc..
  }
})

This looks cool, but it would be even more cool if it could somehow generate the list of avaiable "custom" services out of a running homeassistant instance....

Gome-assisant supports generating constants for all entities using go generate, if it's possible to get a list of services from the API then it should be pretty straightforward to add a services constant object
